About

THE DESIGN PROCESS

– Comprehensive in home consultations where we explore your wish list and advise what options and different kitchen elements are available. This process is completed in your presence and with your complete consultation. This process is all about designing a kitchen to meet your needs. After all it is your kitchen!

– We use 3D modelling kitchen software to assist you with the imagination of your new kitchen which will turn your dreams into reality

– Finding the right balance between Form and Function where the size of the kitchen fits perfectly with the space available and true functionality that makes it joy to prepare and cook your meals.

DETAILED QUOTATIONS

– We will normally supply a quotation within 7 days of our meeting. You can expect a fixed price for the supply of your kitchen with any options listed separately. Together with this, you will find a detailed

list of the Trades Estimates for your job.

– We are not a high pressured sales organisation so we simply present the best design possible at a competitive price and hope that you will feel comfortable with us enough to entrust your renovation project with us.

PLACING AN ORDER

– With the myriad of benchtops, hardware and cabinetry options it can be challenging to put all of these together. We will help guide you to select finishes that will complement existing architectural features and furnishings to ensure your new kitchen stands out from the crowd.

– Clear and precise communication is paramount to a successful project and a fully documented process will save any misunderstandings. We strive to ensure that the installation process doesn’t provide any surprises.

DEPENDABLE MANAGEMENT OF YOUR PROJECT

– The typical fit out of a new kitchen takes around 2 &amp; 1/2 weeks from commencement. For most people you will be without a kitchen for this time and this can be very inconvenient. It is our job to ensure that the project is not unnecessarily delayed and is completed within the smallest time frame possible. This takes expert coordination of all of the trades associated with your project.

– We will keep you updated each step of the way so you won’t be wondering what happens next and you can be assured of our complete dedication to completing your project on time and with a minimum of fuss.

– We have assembled a great team of tradespeople who you will find are similarly committed to ensuring your complete satisfaction and have been chosen not only for the quality of their workmanship but also their exemplary attitude.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR KITCHEN FROM GO TO WHOA

– From order normally your kitchen would be ready to be installed within 3 – 5 weeks depending on the cabinetry chosen

– If your existing kitchen needs to be removed this usually only takes a few hours and if possible we will install the new cabinets in the same day or the next.

– With most benchtops these days being stone, these have to be templated prior to manufacturing and this must be done only after the cabinets are installed. Again this would be performed at the earliest opportunity after your cabinets are installed.

– The typical lead-time for the benchtops to be manufactured and then installed is 10 working days. In this time painting or the flooring can be attended to.

– Once the benchtops are installed your electrical, sink and appliances can be fitted off and your kitchen would mostly be operational from that time.

– And then there is only the splashback to complete. For toughened glass the lead-time can be another 10 working days but tiling can be done straight away.

WHAT YOU CAN ALWAYS EXPECT FROM US

– We take our service delivery very seriously and you can be assured that you will be regularly updated with the progress of your job and that your phone calls or emails will always be returned in a timely fashion.

– Our complete dedication to ensuring that your kitchen renovation is hassle free but should something unforseen happen, any issue will be resolved as quickly as possible.

OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

We engaged Matthew to design and project manage our kitchen upgrade. Matthew listened to our needs and worked around our space which included some structural changes to not only the kitchen but also an adjoining study. He coordinated a range of trades including carpenters and plasterers to ensure our renovation and kitchen were delivered on time with as little pain as possible. We would highly recommend Matthew to design your next kitchen and manage your project. We love our upgraded kitchen and extra space.

Allan and Maria

Allan & Maria Berriman,

I thoroughly recommend Matthew Ganter Kitchen Design. We needed a new kitchen in our recently purchased Woolstore apartment … it was old and tired. After discussing with friends that had recent experience with some of the well known kitchen designers in Brisbane, we decided to take a chance with someone that came with no recommendations and we are really glad we did and have absolutely no regrets!

Matthew is a total professional. What more can I say other than our kitchen was delivered on time, on budget and to the quality we expected. If and when I need another kitchen, I know where to go!

R Smith & V Ragalia, Tenneriffe

I am in love with my new kitchen, and am so glad I engaged Matthew, who is the ultimate professional – extremely courteous and gracious, whose highest priority is to give the best in customer service.

Together we designed the kitchen, picked finishes and chose colours, and I am so grateful for his patient design advice, as I’m sure I would have otherwise made some disastrous choices! He also checked, double checked and triple checked all measurements to make sure it was specified precisely with no surprises. Matthew keeps religiously to his promised schedule and does what he says he will do, keeping you informed every step of the way.

He schedules all the trades precisely so that your downtime without a kitchen is minimised so that you are inconvenienced a little as possible. His attention to detail is amazing, he directed the cabinet makers to adjust drawers and doors to close smoothly, and to even up all spacing. The end product is super-functional, everything is in the right place and ergonomic, looks fantastic, and it is obvious that it is professionally designed and custom-made.

I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Matthew.

S Waight, Paddington

I cannot put into words how happy I was with Matthew Ganter kitchen designs. He spent a lot of time in the initial design stages looking at my houzz ideas book photos. He was incredibly patient with me as I agonized over every choice I made for my kitchen. In obtaining quotes I met with several kitchen designers but Matthew was by far the best communicator, and his prices were also very competitive.

He turned my vision into a reality. He created exactly what I wanted, only better. Matthew was present for every stage of the renovation. He even helped me choose the marble from the stone warehouse. (Other kitchen designers had instructed me to choose it myself). He also organised and dealt with all tradesmen which took a lot of stress away from my husband and I. And he drove all over Brisbane to pick up the specific handles and tap I had chosen. He really went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.

12 months later and we could not be happier with our new kitchen!! All our friends are blown away and keen to use Matthew for their future kitchen renovations.

L Garate, Graceville

Matthew provided the ideal solution for a unique and challenging kitchen space. He provided superior customer service, was professional and personable and worked to the timeframes he outlined and the budget we provided. Matthew maintained open communication with us throughout the process and delivered a beautiful kitchen and laundry for our home.

We highly recommend Matthew and his services. Thank you for providing us with a beautiful kitchen and laundry that is striking as it is functional.

K & A Thompson, Highgate Hill

Matthew Ganter is a very highly dependable Kitchen Designer. He is efficient, competitive in price, and never fails to deliver what he says. We have used Matthew for 4 kitchen renovations, and have always been not only satisfied, but impressed with his end product.

Most builds take longer than the quoted time frame, but with Matthew Ganter you can count on things getting done according to schedule. Imagine not having to deal with all the issues that come with delays!

Part of being good at what you do, is also getting the job done in time. In today’s world of deadlines and important schedules, you need someone you can rely on. Matthew is the man we would recommend for the job.

J & C Khoury, Tenneriffe

Thanks for your hard work and project management. You made the transition very easy and I felt assured I was going to get a great result with your attention to detail. David and the rest of your

Tradies were great to work with too. I am sure you will keep doing well and I have, and will recommend your business to anyone in need of a kitchen renovation.

H Weir, Ferny Hills

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Matthew and his team for helping my husband and myself first design and then provide the resources to complement what is now our beautiful kitchen. Matt spent many hours at our dining room table on his laptop changing and adjusting our plans (because I kept changing my mind!) to end up with a perfectly co-ordinated and functional kitchen. Drawers and cupboards have been beautifully put together and we both take pleasure at sitting in our beautiful light filled ‘provincial’ style kitchen – it has now become the centre of our house and our friends and family cannot believe the transformation.

Once again Matthew we thank you for your patience and friendly manner as well as your obvious talent at your craft.

Laurie and Lesley Case, Gordon Park

We were very happy with Matthew’s attention to detail, his ability to coordinate the trades onsite when required, and to go the extra mile to cater for our special requests (eg. handmade corbel design, walk-in pantry).

He worked with us as we organised extra building work to take place alongside the kitchen, and assisted where possible to ensure both fitted seamlessly into the end result. He also made astute observations and provided expert advice on key decisions regarding design and fit out. We are very pleased with the work performed, and would not hesitate to ask Matthew back.

The design skills of Matthew Ganter from Brisbane Kitchen Design was exceptional. I needed somebody who could translate my ideas and bring them to realisation. As my property was a top end Penthouse apartment I could not compromise on the quality. I am very grateful to Matthew for his great work and commitment for what is an outstanding outcome which has added a lot of value to my property.

A Galassi, Kelvin Grove

We obtained two detailed quotes for our kitchen renovation and were very impressed by one well known company. To be sensible, a third, random consultation and quotation was obtained from Matthew Ganter Kitchen Design.

From our first meeting, it was clear that Matthew was motivated to help us design a beautiful and functional room that would suit the character of our mid-80’s vintage house and the needs of our family. Communication and co-ordination of trades throughout the process was excellent. We are very happy with Matthew’s work, which has brightened and opened up the most important room in our home.
